Strategy Editor

Introduction

The Editor is the first tab of the Strategy section of the application. You can get to it by clicking on a strategy in the Collection, the Portfolio or by going to Strategy from the main navigation bar.

You can use the Editor to change the indicators and the parameters of a generated strategy or to create an entirely new one manually. When you change something, the program calculates the strategy against the corresponding historical data, shows the most important stats and draws the account and the indicator charts. You can use this information to evaluate the strategy and, if you are satisfied, you can export an Expert Advisor from it. The program also stores the best strategies in the Collection.

Toolbar

The Editor's toolbar has controls for selecting historical data and buttons for exporting and sharing an Expert Advisor.

You choose which file to load by selecting the server name, symbol and period. When you change any of those parameters, EA Studio loads the corresponding file from the cloud.

EA Studio loads data files and re-calculates the strategy when you change the options.

Context menu

Market Information and Account Information

Market Info - shows the loaded chart, the start and the end date of the loaded data and the market spread. EA Studio loads historical data from a MetaTrader server. It is important to use data from your broker and server for testing in order to achieve the same results in MetaTrader.

Indicator chart

The indicator chart shows you the market price and the indicators used in the strategy.
